Site Event/Activity record ESF25467 - Evaluation and Monitoring - Land south east of Low Farm, Summer Lane, Bromeswell

Evaluation and monitoring of footing trenches in advance of the construction of two steel framed buildings. Two trenches were opened within the footprints of the two proposed structures. Trench 1 measured 23.6m long and Trench 2 measured 18.4m. The topsoil consisted of a uniform 0.4m of mid brown humic cultivated sand, sealing a mixed coarse orange natural crag sand. A single ditch was observed during the evaluation, from which a flint flake and single sherd of prehistoric pottery were recovered. Monitoring identified a large, curving likely enclosure ditch and various pit-type features containing Bronze Age and Iron Age pottery, although there had been significant truncation of these deposits. A small pit contained probable redeposited pottery associated with Bronze Age cremations.
